Important safety instructions

Grounding instructions

A) Grounding instructions for a grounded,

cord-connected appliance

In the event of malfunction or breakdown,

grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock

by providing a path of least resistance for

electric current. This appliance (Canadian

market only) is equipped with a cord having

an equipment-grounding conductor and a

grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into

an appropriate outlet that is properly installed

and grounded in accordance with all local

codes and ordinances.

WARNING!

Improper connection of the equipment-

grounding conductor can result in a risk of

electric shock. Check with a qualiﬁed electrician

or service representative or personnel if you are

in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly

grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with

the appliance (Canadian market only). If it will

not ﬁt the outlet, have a proper outlet installed

by a qualiﬁed electrician.

To reduce the risk of ﬁre, this appliance must

be exhausted outdoors or the equivalent. Do

not exhaust into a chimney, wall, ceiling or

concealed space in a building.

B) Grounding instructions for a

permanently connected appliance:

This appliance must be connected to a

grounded metal, permanent wiring system, or

an equipment-grounding conductor must be run

with the circuit conductors and connected to the

equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the

appliance.

NOTE!

This manual does not cover every possible

condition and situation that may occur. Use

common sense and caution when installing,

operating, and maintaining any appliance.

Installation

Advice and tips before you tumble dry

Here are some tips that may help you before

you begin tumble drying.

Have the clothes been spun?

Items to be tumble dried should be spun at 1000

rpm or faster. Higher spin speeds save energy

and reduce drying time.

Materials that can be tumble dried

This symbol means that the material is

suitable for tumble drying. Fabrics best suited

to tumble drying are cotton fabrics, terry cloth,

and synthetic ﬁbers. Garments will be softer and

lighter when tumbled than when hung out to dry.

NOTE!

The tumble dryer does not cause any signiﬁcant

wear on fabrics. The lint trapped in the lint ﬁlter

consists of dust and ﬁber residues formed when

the items are used.

Materials that should not be tumble

dried

This symbol means that the material is not

suitable for tumble drying. Certain materials

may melt or become a ﬁre hazard if exposed to

heat and others can lose their shape or shrink.

And do not tumble dry

• materials labeled "Do not dry near heat".

• garments that have been dry-cleaned at

home.

• plastic foam.

• ﬁberglass material.

• wool must not be tumble dried due to the risk

of piling.

Static electricity

To reduce the risk of static electricity in the

laundry after tumble drying, you can:

• Use fabric softener when washing.

• Wait ﬁve minutes after the drying program

ends before opening the door and removing

the laundry from the dryer.

NOTE!

You can stop the tumble dryer by pressing the

Stop button for three seconds or by opening the

door. In both cases the program is stopped and

starts from the beginning if restarted.

If you do not want to restart the program,

immediately remove all laundry and spread it

out to allow the heat to dissipate.

WARNING!

To reduce the risk of electric shock or injury

to persons, read the "Important Safety

Instructions" section before operating this

appliance.

Below are step-by-step instructions to help you

achieve the best possible tumble drying results.

1Sort your fabrics

You will achieve the most uniform drying

results if the items are made of the same

type of material. Close zippers and fasten

buttons or belts; sort the items and adjust load

and temperature.

Do not overload the drum!

Overloading the dryer will result in poor drying

results and wrinkling.

2Press the main power switch

until the display lights.

NOTE!

Power on

Press the on/oﬀbutton for min. 1 sec and max.

5 sec.

Power oﬀ

Press the on/oﬀbutton for min. 5 sec.

If the ON/OFF command is not correctly

accepted by the machine, wait min. 8 sec before

any further press.

3Open the door, load the items,

and then close the door

Make sure that objects e.g. detergent

dispensing balls, have been removed from the

laundry. They could melt and cause damage to

the dryer or the laundry.

To save energy, always observe the maximum

load for each programme (see Program chart)

4Select the program

Operating instructions

Guidelines as to what speciﬁc

programs can be used for:

Auto Heavy

Program with the maximum temperature. This

program is for items that are particularly diﬃcult

to dry, such as jeans with very thick seams.

NOTE!

Knitted fabrics in particular are prone to

shrinkage. Use the Auto Normal, Auto Delicate,

or Auto Iron Dry programs for these items.

Stretch clothes back into shape immediately

after drying.

Auto Normal and Auto Delicate

These programs end automatically when the

load is dry. The Auto Normal program leaves

the laundry slightly more dry than Auto Delicate.

Auto Iron Dry

This program shuts oﬀthe heat once the load is

just damp enough for ironing or pressing.

Timed Dry

The most suitable program time depends

on what you intend to do with the items after

tumble drying them. Use trial and error to ﬁnd

out what works best. When you use Timed Dry

to tumble dry a load of mixed fabrics, some of

the garments may remain damp. Tumble dry

any damp garments for a further 30 minutes

or so using the Timed Dry program. Select the

desired time by pressing the Delayed Start

button. A program time between 30 minutes and

3 hours can be selected and each button press

changes the time by 15 minutes.

NOTE!

When using the Timed Dry program with a

program time that is too long, the garments

can become "over-dry". This can cause items

to shrink or wrinkle and feel rough to the touch.

Synthetic materials can also become charged

with static electricity.

Air Fluﬀ

Use the Air Fluﬀprogram when you just want to

refresh, air out, or soften up items.

Select the desired time by pressing the Delayed

Start button. A program time between 15

minutes and 3 hours can be selected and each

button press changes the time by 15 minutes.

Select a program by turning the program selector. An LED lights next to the selected program. Use the

option buttons to select any options.
